I've also double-checked, and now its crashing without java or
javascript enabled, as you mentioned. I wonder how it was able to load
the page that one time...
For posterity:
My Firefox is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050925
Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2sarge5)
I have no extensions installed.
